muttonbirding? I thought it was pretty obvious. It is to go and kill muttonbirds and cook em up. As in, I went muttonbirding on a poor excuse for an island in foveaux strait. It's presumably intransitive (as the object is implied in the verb in this case, as you obviously don't muttonbird rabbits).
It also has an underground usage, in which it is means "to stalk don mcglashan". e.g., I was out muttonbirding last night but had to leave when the police turned up.
// Toni Marsh is pretty ...
// Toni Marsh is pretty 'Sifting'
Do you use sifting as an adjective like that? I'd be more inclined to say Toni Marsh is pretty sifty.

A wazzock ... a bit like a wanker but with a Northern accent.
It is a lovely word ... first heard in back in 81 - 82 when I was over in the UK doing some serious military training. The Brit Army was full of wazzocks. Most of whom were Wuperts and Wodneys.
